Scuttle Sally Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 One last word on the subject, the frustrations that many of you are expressing (especially regarding the city) are shared by the board. However, we're in the uncomfortable place between the proverbial rock and hard place. And as far as sponsors to cover the cost...well, we're not quite there yet either. Again, things are what they are and we can choose to deal with the issues and except the restraints or end the festival. We chose the merryment and mayhem. Thanks for taking the ride with us, we appreciate your understanding and can't wait to see you all soon.
LadyBarbossa Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Welp, just spoke with Toby, he's unfortunately not gonna be at Port Washington as he'll be elsewhere at a Convention. Pity.

Ransom Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Wooo Hooo!!! Looks like Ransom may be heading for Pt. Washington. Will know for sure after CBIL and I can confirm and co-ordinate flight times.

LadyBarbossa Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Both of ye travelin' from so far a distance... I think that deserves a hearty welcome from all of us!

Scuttle Sally Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Just a small teaser to be whetting yer appetites... The Buccaneer Bash (which will be both Fri and Sat night 6-11pm) will not only have a fantastic live band (the Irish rock band Reilly)...but our own Bilgemunky will be MC'ing a new trivia game titled "Who Wants to be a Bullionaire?" I not revealing the details, but it should be hilarious. To listen to Reilly, visit their website... ReillyRocks
Capt. Sterling Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 It's confirmed. Ransom is heading for PW. So, do I get the "Pirate who traveled the futhest to attend the event" award? Oregon to Wisconsin. Nah that's a breeze, traveling with adults on a plane... snigger... try driving 17 hours with two snotties, knowing the Mistress is pacing the campgrounds and worrying about whether or not CBIL has breeches or not... scary thought that...

Weeellll, my flights won't be that easy, 'cause see, from Medford, OR "you can't get there from here." So I start out at 3:30 am to get to the airport by 5:00, then fly to Phoenix, sit for 55 min, then fly to Dallas. Spend the night with CBIL Then fly from Dallas to Milwaukee. Trip back = leave Milwaukee at 6:40 pm, to reach Dallas by 9:00, sit for 55 min., then head to Las Vegas, sit for 55 min, then arrive via turbo-prop back in Medford at 1:22 am, where my poor husband will be waiting to drive me back home - another 40 minutes. And with my usual luck, I'll end up sitting next to a couple with snotty's screaming in my ear the whole way — Why not, they always sit in the booth next to me in restaurants, or get in line behind me at the grocery store. As for CBIL and his breeches - we won't go there. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Capt. Sterling Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Spend the night with CBIL Careful, CBIL loves to kiss and tell...snigger Restaurants eh? Joining us for the Friday night dinner around 5 bells, second dog watch? You can sit next to the Merriweathers....

CapnJake Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I wanted to take a moment to highlight two of the entertainer groups that we've hired to perform upon our five stages at the Port Washington Pirate Festival. Starboard Bound is an action-comedy troupe that originated at the excellent Greater St. Louis Renaissance Faire in Wentzville, Missouri. With a semi-variable cast, this group of swashbucklers amuse the audience with swordplay, "Hero School" and ironic humor. They have performed at various faires in the heart of the country, and this is their first Wisconsin performance. Knotty Bits Sideshow is a classic vaudeville/sideshow act that wildly mixes contortion, fire-eating, magic tricks, glass-walking and other, incredible feats in one show. They have toured widely and we're happy to have them on board. If you've seen these folks before and can offer notes of review or encouragement I'm sure the artists would welcome the input.

CapnJake Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 I wanted to take another moment to highlight two more of the entertainer groups that we've hired to perform upon our five stages at the Port Washington Pirate Festival. The Jolly Rogers are one of the country's most popular Pirate singing groups. With a ten year history together, several CDs and appearances at many faires and venues, they always provide a fun show. Rakhshanda Tribal Dancers is a young group of performers from the Midwest that have created quite a stir with their energy, improvisational skills and technique. They have created a pirate-themed show just for the Port Washington Pirate Festival and we're very happy to have them join us. If you've seen these folks before and can offer notes of review or encouragement I'm sure the artists would welcome the input. Dean Calin (Cap'n Jake) Bounding Main www.boundingmain.com
